Well first.🙄
Secondly, it's still not too late to pursue medicine if the shiny 240k+ salary is something you want. I say go for it.

Medicine has so many negatives to it.. Theres a reason that Family Practice doctors are making 240k with signing bonuses, NO ONE wants to do it... You have to go through 3 years of grueling residency, be among med students for 4 years who, in my opinion, aren't a clique I mesh with. Then you spend your life among these same doctors and constantly worried that a cheaper PA or NP is gonna take your patients/job. You are always on call basically. You wouldn't believe how many patients call the doctor for random/dumb questions about prescriptions or whatever. You have NO patient interaction time. Seriously, when I was a medical assistant the doctors tried to be in and out of the room in like 5 minutes and onto the next patient. They had NO relationship with patients at all. I was the one that did. There is a TON of paperwork and documenting that goes on. So you're putting in 40 hours and then another 10 or so per week on just paperwork and updating charts. Plus there are political groups trying to eliminate family practice as a specialty all together and just have there exist specialist doctors.
So the grass will always be greener.

Grass is greener. Ask on the premed forums and some of them will say to go to dentistry.
Although, I think we all can agree, do not go into pharmacy.

....... why is pharmacy always picked on everywhere on SDN
From what I have gathered it is the health profession that is suffering the most from saturation. Way too many schools with large class sizes.
Pharmacy and Law School. Stay away like the plague haha
